Glaspey, Amy M.; Wilson, Jenica J.; Reeder, Justin D.; Tseng, Wei-Chen; MacLeod, Andrea A. N. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to document speech sound development across early childhood from a dynamic assessment (DA) perspective that captures a breadth of linguistic environments using the Glaspey Dynamic Assessment of Phonology (Glaspey, 2019), as well as to provide normative data for speech-language pathologists to compare speech…

Posner, Joseph L. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The goal of this dissertation was to find converging evidence from behavioral and neuroimaging analyses of the mechanisms of orthographic integration with general language processes. By examining orthography effects, covert influences of orthography on non-written tasks, in participants with aphasia, we attempt to elucidate the nature of…

Vasiliki Zarokanellou; Dionysios Tafiadis; Alexandros Gryparis; Alexandra Prentza; Louiza Voniati; Nafsika Ziavra – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Diadochokinetic (DDK) rate tasks are extensively used in the evaluation of speech disorders; however, it is unclear how the different types of speech stimuli affect DDK rate performance. Aims: To investigate the effect of age, gender and type of stimuli (non-words versus real words) on the DDK rates in individuals across the lifespan…

Ben Ph?m; Sharynne McLeod – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: The dialect spoken by children influences diagnostic decision-making regarding the identification and severity of speech sound disorder (SSD). Aims: The primary objective was to review papers that examined the influence of dialect on the identification of SSD in Vietnamese-speaking children. Methods & Procedures: Five studies of…

Savannah M. Heintzman; Nicole J. Conrad; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Young children clearly know quite a bit about the conventions of written language; for instance, 5-year-old children are sensitive to the fact that words tend to include both consonants and vowels, rather than just one or the other. The core theoretical debate lies in whether this understanding of sub-lexical orthographic regularities…

Chung, Juyeon – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This dissertation examines whether EFL and ESL Korean learners of English are able to produce and perceive two English phonological contrasts that depend on vowel duration differences, coda consonant voicing contrasts and the tense-lax distinction in vowels. For production, it examines differences in vowel duration and vowel quality associated…

Al-Deaibes, Mutasim; Jarrah, Marwan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study investigates the production of Arabic intervocalic geminate obstruents as produced by American L2 learners of Arabic. The participants of the study were 24 Arabic learners (12 advanced, 12 beginners) at North Georgia University and 12 native speakers of Jordanian Arabic (the control group). An examination of the results reveals that…

Dufour, Sophie; Grainger, Jonathan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In this study we asked whether nonwords created by transposing two phonemes (/biks[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) are perceived as being more similar to their base words (/bisk[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/) than nonwords created by substituting two phonemes (/bipf[open-mid back rounded vowel]t/). Using the short-term phonological priming and a…

Siew, Cynthia S. Q.; Engelthaler, Tomas; Hills, Thomas T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
How does the relation between two words create humor? In this article, we investigated the effect of global and local contrast on the humor of word pairs. We capitalized on the existence of psycholinguistic lexical norms by examining violations of expectations set up by typical patterns of English usage (global contrast) and within the local…

Wulfert, Sophia; Auer, Peter; Hanulíková, Adriana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: One of the central questions in speech production research is to what degree certain structures have an inherent difficulty and to what degree repeated encounter and practice make them easier to process. The goal of this article was to determine the extent to which frequency and sonority distance of consonant clusters predict production…

Fibla, Laia; Sebastian-Gales, Nuria; Cristia, Alejandrina – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Since there are no systematic pauses delimiting words in speech, the problem of word segmentation is formidable even for monolingual infants. We use computational modeling to assess whether word segmentation is substantially harder in a bilingual than a monolingual setting. Seven algorithms representing different cognitive approaches to…

Engelen, Jan A. A. – Cognitive Science, 2022
The in-out effect refers to the tendency that novel words whose consonants follow an inward-wandering pattern (e.g., P-T-K) are rated more positively than stimuli whose consonants follow an outward-wandering pattern (e.g., K-T-P). While this effect appears to be reliable, it is not yet clear to what extent it generalizes to existing words in a…

Groll, Matti D.; Hablani, Surbhi; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Prior work suggests that voice onset time (VOT) may be impacted by laryngeal tension: VOT means decrease when individuals with typical voices increase their fundamental frequency (f[subscript o]) and VOT variability is increased in individuals with vocal hyperfunction, a voice disorder characterized by increased laryngeal tension. This…

Melissa V. Stalega; Devin M. Kearns; Jessica Bourget; Nina Bayer; Michael Hebert – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Phonological awareness (PA), the awareness of sounds in spoken words, is strongly linked to reading outcomes. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of PA instruction without including print (i.e. PA without exposure to words or letters). Specifically, is PA-only instruction just as effective in improving reading…

Katharine Pace Miles; Denise Eide; Janee' R. Butler – Reading Psychology, 2024
High frequency words, commonly referred to as sight words, are often a focus of emergent reading instruction. Instructional practices abound that require emergent readers to memorize the spelling and pronunciation of the words without drawing attention to grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) in the words. These approaches ignore a critical…
